How Connect Four works
Connect Four is a strategy game with a clear objective: Drop discs and connect four before your opponent.
A move can create a future line for both players because every disc changes which cells are reachable above it.
Controls
Two players: connect four discs horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
Detected input types for this implementation: click/tap.

Strategy notes for Connect Four
- Check every move for an immediate three-in-a-row threat before building your own longer plan.
- Central columns participate in more possible four-disc lines, so they are often more flexible than edge columns.

Practice target
Before every drop, check for immediate wins and blocks, then prefer central columns when no urgent threat exists.
